Marriott International Chairman and CEO Bill Marriott has an engaging and interesting blog. This is an example of how a CEO can use a public-facing blog to create better connections with staff, customers and prospective customers.
An interesting feature is that every post is available in text format or as a podcast.

Some bloggers indicate that Twitter is the best thing since whatever, others can’t see the point. Some observations and links, including Dave’s sceptical view, Tris’s take that Twitter is the “new Flickr”, Robyn’s use of the Twitter widget and Bren with some guidelines.
